What role has community played in your health or healing journey?

Listen to our latest episode: 74. Traditional healing and Native medicine with Aaron John Curtis

What if the path to healing isn’t just through Western medicine, but through tradition, spirit and community? In this episode, Dr. Denise Millstine hosts a powerful conversation with author Aaron John Curtis and Dr. Patricia StandTal Clarke, exploring traditional Native healing through Curtis’s debut novel Old School Indian.
